Downloaded... Installed... and they're clean as a whistle. Haven't done any
benchmarking or extensive analyses, but from what I can tell so far, no
better/no worse that 4.4's.
Though I was looking forward to having GUI control over temporal AA settings
and unfortunately it's not in this release.

Thanks Asestar but there's nothing in there that I need fixed. I'll wait
and see what others say about whether these are an improvement of the 4.4
omega's 🙂

Exactly.
If it's not going to fix something, then why change and risk a
breakage.

Just like with Catalyst 4.4, 4.5 crashes SWG for me, when I task out and
task back in. So it's back to 4.3 for me.

I have problems running BFV at it's highest detail settings, no AA/AF at
1600x1200 on my 9800 Pro. It drops FPS severely around certain objects
- bushes, flag poles etc.
Were these the sort of problems you were experiencing and did these
drivers fix it?

LOL, it's always nice when you can hang onto a card for a couple of

Could be wrong, but I think they simply disabled AA in the drivers as a
fix.

Hm, when I uninstalled all drivers, removed all traces of ATi drivers,
directories and registry entries and then reinstalled Omega 4.3, it didn't
fix the problem. So I restored my system to the point before I installed
Catalyst 3.5 and no crashes with SWG anymore.
I created another restore point and installed Cat 3.5 over Omega 3.4 without
uninstalling anything first and low and behold Cat 3.5 work fine now. I
don't really know why that is, but at least it's working now.

It's working, or either I can't tell the difference in 1024X768 on this
21" monitor. Just ran D3DFSAA viewer, seems the temporal settings I
made in registry for the previous drivers stuck! *8D
Now for ATI to put that in the Control Panel *8|
In release notes ATI stated, AA can now be forced on with 4.5.

I am not convinced by that, unless I am being stupid and have missed
an option somewhere. I just tried the Nascar Thunder 2004 demo and it
still looks like pixel city.

I'm very lucky in that image quality never bothered me. I run all of my
games with AA and AF turned off and I'm still happy with the image
quality. Even when I do turn these features on in any game, it's no big
deal to me. Because of this, no doubt I can stretch my hardware out
further.

I generally don't see much in AA or AF myself. 1600x1200 resolution in
all my games get's it looking good enough.

Yeah, great. Now I have hundreds more tweaks to get my games to run
with performance and quality.

Read all the post's, you shall find the details of how to do it there.
I also recommend D3DFSAA viewer to test it,

Quote from link,
What is Temporal Anti-Aliasing?
One of the impressive (but little discussed) features of ATi's R3x0
architecture is that it is capable of programmable AA patterns. Whereas
most graphics boards only have pre-programmed sampling patterns,
theoretically a developer (or indeed ATi themselves) could change to a
different AA pattern whenever they chose. This feature has never really
been explored by either ATi or developers... Until now, where it has
become the basis for a new (and thus far only available via the
registry) anti-aliasing mode.
So, how does it work? Basically, instead of using a single, static
sampling pattern when AA is enabled, temporal AA allows the board to
select from one of several patterns, which it can then switch between on
a per frame basis. In other words, every rendered frame is antialiased
slightly differently, using a different pattern. If at this point you
are thinking that changing the pattern every frame would end up as a
horrible, flickery mess, you'd be right. Until you examine the principle
a little more closely that is....

Yes, they where the effects alright, even with Omega 4.4 :| and every
tweak I could think of (not many). Installed the leaked beta last night
of 4.4 after someone said BFV ran a whole lot better and it did! *8D
Definantly smoother, most possibly better quality, definantly not worse
and no AA or AF artifacts.. Very happy here *8) although my old 9700
(351/315) does have some difficulty in some of the maps with AA on *8(
Now running 1600X1200 with 16X AF, No AA, and the FPS couldn't be
better, 30-100+FPS, average 50FPS. *8) Before it was 25-60FPS with no AF
or AA in 1600X1200 and the average was 40FPS.
I use the settings Medium - Medium - Highest in order from top to
bottom. Dynamic lighting On, Shadows Off (not sure if they fixed the
shadow problem?) 1600X1200.
Too much typing, back to BFV! *8D
